I don’t use an iPhone or iPad but one of my moderators does. I count on her to keep an eye on this capability for me. Today she wrote me that she can’t post at all on either after an ios update.

Is anyone able to advise me how to fix this so she can post? If she can’t post, then others who use the website on their iPhones probably can’t post either.
Thank you,
Matoca

Here is her message to me:
“Today I did an update (ios 7.0.4) to my iPad. NOW, just like my iPhone, I can not post on the forum anymore. Hmmmm……so, now it’s both my iPhone and my iPad, but both AFTER I updated the software. NOW the only way I can communicate (write) on the forum is on my computer. And as I’m rarely home and if so, not often near the computer, I am not able to post often. Hence, I have not been communicating much on the forum – now it will be less until I get this worked out. On both my phone and ipad, I can read all the posts, it updates to the latest and greatest posts, but the keyboard will not come up to write to post.

I will try to go by the Apple store here to see if they have any answers, but as this just happened today after installing the “update” to my iPad, I did not really realize the problem was related to the updates – now, I’m sure it is. Gotta love Apple!! Or not…”

Hi Robin,

That has worked but with a small issue….the image is displaying far bigger than the uploaded file which is 75x75px. What do I need to change in that code to help the formatting?

This is on my test server but is the same environment that the final site will reside in.

Many thanks

Hi guys,

I’m attempting to import a Xenforo DB over to BBPress. It’s not too large (300 members, 4000 Posts)

When I attempt the conversion I get an error message.

Fatal error: Class ‘Xenforo_Not_Complete’ not found in /home/decerto2/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/bbconverter/bbc-includes/bbc-converter-class.php(39) : eval()’d code on line 1

Is anyone able to assist as I am looking at testing before I move my live board

Thanks

I’m in the “Import Forum” section of bbpress plugin – there’s no option to select for bbPress 2 (only bbPress 1). Or am I going about this the wrong way?

I’ll be making various test imports in the using wordpress’ import/export in the meantime to see how far I can get merging these 2 sites.

Can anyone explain how to set out my forum main page like yours here? http://bbpress.org/forums
you know with latest topics being the main content and forums on the sidebar?

Also it does not display very well on my site. http://cornwallautismsupport.com/forums/

[assylumn]

Hi All,

I am new to BbPress and have inherited an installation that seems to have issues.

When you select a forum from the home page it not only shows topics from that forum, but also random topics from other forums on the site.

This happens using the twentyten theme plus 2 other custom themes using different frameworks.

This is the original installation http://techiteasy.co/

And this is a clone of it on a test server with a different theme http://techdev.kemikalkitchen.co.uk/

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe this bug not appears if bbPress is installed before qTranslate. I’ll try an another install to test that.

Finally, even if bbPress is intalled before qTranslate, qTranslate is loaded first.

When I put a category id in the latest replies widget, the widget simply fails to appear.

It works of course when I put a forum id in it.

Please can you tell me if the widget is meant to show replies from all forums within a (forum) category?

Thanks

[Anonymous User 13302461]

The freshness shows when the post was made as opposed to showing when the latest reply was made.

Could anyone tell me how to change this please?

Thank you

You might want to check this solution, which also shows more details on the latest post in each sub forum.

Hello,

Thanks for the answer! In fact, this is no a display problem in admin menu, but rights (user capabilities). When I set the URL “edit.php?post_type=forum” directly in the addresses’ bar, WordPress says to me I have not the right to access this page.

After a “very” long debug, I found why this behavior appends. The qTranslate plugin is loaded before bbPress and sets up the WP_User via the function wp_get_current_user() and so sets its allcaps. So when WordPress object is init in wp-settings.php file to sets up current user, wp_get_current_user() returns the existing user and not reloads capabilities.

I fixed this problem in adding a param to wp_get_current_user():

function wp_get_current_user($new_user = false){}

and the same param to get_currentuserinfo() and wp_set_current_user(). I also modified the condition in get_currentuserinfo():

if ( ! empty( $current_user ) && $new_user === false ) {

and the condition in wp_set_current_user():

if ( isset( $current_user ) && ( $current_user instanceof WP_User ) && ( $id == $current_user->ID ) && $new_user === false )

Then I added the true value in param to the call of wp_get_current_user() in init method of WP class.

Maybe this bug appears because I installed qTranslate before bbPress. Maybe this bug not appears if bbPress is installed before qTranslate. I’ll try an another install to test that. It would be nice not to change the core of WordPress.

Hi all.

My apologies if this is a fairly rudimentary query, or one covered elsewhere, I did search but managed to only confuse myself more 😉

My site is:
http://www.gastronomicslc.com/

Running latest WP and a Genesis based theme from Studiopress. I installed bbPress but am having issues generating a coherent main page, I guess the forum root if you will. I followed the install instructions and made my forum root slug (foodie-talk), I also then made the foodie-talk page, however that doesn’t seem to work:

http://www.gastronomicslc.com/foodie-talk/

I have created two test sub-forums

http://www.gastronomicslc.com/foodie-talk/forum/general-talk/
http://www.gastronomicslc.com/foodie-talk/forum/ask-expert/

with a test post in each. I have yet to link to the bbPRess directly from my site while I work on this. On the foodie-talk page I have the [bbp-forum-index] code right now.

I imagine I have made some simpleton fault, appreciate anyone pointing it out 🙂

– Yes the plugin is 100% sure active and working because you can see ( red border ) the topic is reported , I’ve even deactivated & activated it again to make sure when I saw that error.

– It’s a clean copy-/paste from the plugin’s functions file. I’ve even added echo in front of it to check if there was a difference but both with & without echo have the same error.

Why I ask if a plugin function can be private or protected is, when I take a look inside the plugin function-file I see all functions wrapped inside a class which is pretty standard for making plugins I’ve seen online.

But I also see something like this:

	protected $version = '1.0.0';
	protected $plugin_slug = 'bbpress-report-content';
	protected static $instance = null;
	protected $plugin_screen_hook_suffix = null;
	protected $plugin_path = null;
____
	private function __construct() { ....

____
	public static function get_instance() {

		// If the single instance hasn't been set, set it now.
		if ( null == self::$instance ) {
			self::$instance = new self;
		}

		return self::$instance;
	}

Most functions have public function function_name() and the function I would like to use has only function function_name()

That made me think maybe my function it’s protected, so I started testing and searching online and did this inside my page template.

<?php if(function_exists('get_topic_report_link')) {
echo get_topic_report_link( $args = '' );
} else {
echo 'Function does not exists..';
}
 ?>

It takes the ELSE option so there is something wrong right.

___

This is what I did to kill for example the Merge link from the admin_links, preventing it would show up something else when called upon.

function shmoo_kill_topic_merge_link( $r ) {
	$r = null;
	return $r;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_merge_link', 'shmoo_kill_topic_merge_link' );

I’m a Check Norris fan, when I change stuff it has to be NULL 😉

I know, I probably add and write too much functions-/codes of my own to alter the bbPress core but at least I’m getting it done right now and starting to understand how it works a little. In a few years I will be better ( hopefully ) and add more logic to my projects.

[Sreekanth Reddy]

I tried to install bbpress for several times . Its installing correctly but no links were displayed to create a new forum or settings.

One time it shown an error ” you have no sufficient permissions”

Please let me know where i did wrong.

Latest WordPress
Latest bbPress

Thank you

Sreekanth

[Kris35]

I know I can block them in WP Users – is that how its done does anyone here know? I tried this on a testname and no I couldnt click on the BBPress topics but was taken to the forum topic page (chat-boards/topic/another-birthday-looms) that has all my sites pages links on it? Urgh, it even has Membership Cancel, Membership Checkout pages on it. Anyone know how to either get rid of this page or take the banned person to the homepage or somewhere else on my site? Thanks.

[fisherofer]

i have multisite network based on the latest WP
when i try to activate the plug in my WP-dashboard crushed
the web site is working and i cant access into the admin panel
i have to delete the plugin and only then i can access into to admin dashboard

[helmutwalker]

I just installed the latest version and it is running super sloooow. I’ve checked and it is not a theme issue.

[Shmoo]

Normally not, just tested at my site and when I deactivate the registration system and still visit the registration page is shows a message “you can’t registrar at this site”

Are those real members signing up or just Spambots hitting your sign-up-process ?

[Shmoo]

Just curious as I’m not a PHP-er and learning each day.

What I’m trying to make is a front-end tab-system that shows three tabs
Tab [1] = Topics
Tab [2] = Replies
Tab [3] = Refresh, just a reload of the page

Topics,
This should be a very easy query-/loop in general, it’s just a list of all new topics that have been added to my forum. There’s only one little thing, it should order at the date of creation so that when an older topic gets a reply it doesn’t bounce to the top of the list.

Replies,
This should be a query for latests updated topics of any age, if a topic of 5 years old receives an update or bounce it should jump to the top of this list. + newly or older created topics without replies shouldn’t get listed inside this second ‘Replies’ tab.

I came up with this idea:

<?php if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'posts_per_page' => 120, 'max_num_pages' => 1 ) ) ): ?>
<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>
	<?php if ( bbp_get_topic_reply_count() ) {
	 bbp_get_template_part( 'last-topic-activity/last-replies-loop' );
	} ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

posts_per_page => 120 is a little bold but it’s just for testing right now.
Just curious if this is okay to work with, I found the bbp_get_topic_reply_count() function and it has a True or False statement so I thought lets just check if the topics have a reply_count … if it’s true than list a bunch of stuff through the custom-loop template I made.

Hope somebody can verify if this is okay, it looks like it’s working.

I’m using WordPress version 3.8.1 (the latest as of this writing) and bbPress version 2.5.3 The url wouldn’t show the problem since the forum is private and you would only see “Oh bother! No forums were found here!” on the page as a non-logged in non-member of the site. This question also relates to the WordPress dashboard rather than the site itself. I’ve given a user on the site the bbPress role of Moderator with the expectation that he should be able to set up new forums, however, when he logs in, he can only see/access topics, replies and profile in the WordPress dashboard. There is no link to “Forums” where he can add new ones. Why is this the case when according to the roles information on this page: http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/ a Moderator “can create and edit forums. Can create, edit and delete other users’ topics and replies. Can manage Tags, and moderate a forum with the moderation tools”?

[sarau]

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I’m using WordPress version 3.8.1 (the latest as of this writing) and bbPress version 2.5.3 The url wouldn’t show the problem since the forum is private and you would only see “No Results Found” on the page as a non-logged in non-member of the site.

This is another usability issue I’d love to solve if anyone has a solution. If you are a member of the site but not logged in, you should see a prompt to login rather than “No Results Found”

I realize, we share(d) the plugin Wangguard.
I deactivated it before, but the revisions kept going. A week ago I replaced it with “GoodQuestion” cause that seemed more lightweight for me and does the job, too. I just cleaned my database from old tables, including the wangguard ones, re-activated revisions and for an hour now no new revision. Although guests are even allowed to post.
Might you try it, too? (deactivate, backup the five or six wangguard tables and test, and reload from the backup afterwards, maybe?)

[Stephen Edgar]

@vogelwild I just tested this.

* Created a new user, logged in, confirmed they had the bbPress Participant role
* As admin created a Private and a Hidden Forum and a new topic & reply in each
* Logged out and back in as the new user and they can see the private forum and both the topic and reply in that forum. They can’t see the Hidden forum because they don’t have access rights.

Im using the latest versions of WP and BBpress,

All i have learnt using WP and BBpress is from trial and error and use of support forums and information from other websites.

I gamer at heart and play many mmo’s, i use wordpress for our main site and wanted to include a forum for our members(BBpress). http://enigmas.eu

I have been able to change lay out and look, so it look like main site and i have install an Plugin (bbPress String Swap) to rename roles, but it only change them on the forum and not in the admin selection area and the same goes with Public-Privet-hidden forum.

I would like to be able to change the names with in the admin side, so that my Moderator’s know which role to select when a new member joins

Key master – Guild leaders
Moderator – Officer
Participant – Member

Also when creating a forum know which one to select

Public – (can stay the same)
Private – Members Zone
Hidden – Officers Zone

As im talking about the forum titles i would like to remove (private) from the forum breadcrumb i have seen many examples of how to do it and have tried them out, but they don’t seem to work. i don’t know if im doing some thing wrong. so look for a fresh input.

i know that my Moderator(Officers) could get used to knowing which role and forum section to choose from with out changing them. but the Private before the forum tile is a real pain.

any ideas would be great thank you
